RATE WAR POSSIBLE on FLORIDA IRA FfTC.
A three-eornered drama is being enacted by the
steamship aud railroad people interested in Florida
business. Last fall a little combination was formed
to drive Malorys steamship line out OF the Florida
trade which it had built up. The visible player was
the Florida Railway and Navigation Company, which
being worked by hidden machinery. The Mallory
Limo had contract with that company to distribute
its eight and passengers after they transferred
at Fernandina and it the agency Tor large pro-
portion OF the railroad business Then the Clyde
Company put three steamships to run between
New York and Fernandina touching at Charleston.
Soon aterward tue railroad company abruptly, and
without giving the required ten days notice term-
mated its traffic agreement with the Mallory Line. 10
was expected that the line would by this means be
driven out the Florida business but il kept on and
paid the local rates for freight demanded By the rail
road company, from Fernandina TO the distributing
points, the Clyde steamers freight going through on
special rates The railroad company then refused to
acopt through bills OF ading by the Mallory Lins
the company reshipped its freight furnished the
passengers with their tickets from Ferdnandna over
the Florida Railroad without making incr ase IN the
schedule rates. As the Interstate Commerce. bill ia
supposed 10 prevent discrimination between public
carriers the act upon which the curtain in TO rse on
April is looked forward to with onsidcrable inter

needed In the Florida trade and that there In busi-
enough for both. but there IL bitter feeling Oh

Editor Enquirer have been north as
far as Centreville and Bountiful by invi-
tation from Mr.. Samuel Smith, for the
purpose of visiting several orchards
introduced in that section of country
during the last four years by the
Geneva Nursery, and was most agree
ably surprised to find the various kinds
of fruit trees much finer even than MIR.
Smith had represented them to be. The
fruit that 1 saw. such as pears, cherries,
grapes, etc., and the satisfaction heard
expressed by parties who have bought
and are still buying from the Geneva
Nursery, satisfies me that the proprie-
tors are square-dealing and reliable
business gentlemen, and that they are
introducing a class of fruit into this
Territory that if properly cultivated,
will bring good profit to the producer.

CURTIS.
He Expresses Himself on
Civil Service Reform
AND STRIKES AT CLEVELAND
He Says the Administration Is In NJ
Sense . Civil Service Reform
Success Etc.
Curtis Kicks.

NEwPoRT, 3. l., August 3.-George
William Curtis, president OF the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League, de-
Ivsred some striking opinions IN his
annual address at ths meeting OF the
league, yesterday. He said: cit is now
possible to judge correctly the course OF
President, Oieveiand's administrator,
in regard to civil service reform, and l
regret to say that during the two years
and five months of the administrator
existence, while the reform law has
been executed within its limited range,
and while there are unquestionable and
encouraging sig1sJof progress, yet, &C
cording to information lundon btedly
authentic, there has bt en- 9 very slgnlfl-
cant change in the civil service. Sub
stantiaily the whole force OF government
employees has been changed, barely
enough experienced men being retained
to allow the regular transaction of the
public business. While this result was
the desire and expectation of al large and
important part of the Presidents sup
porters at the polls, Curtis could not
believe it was desired or anticipated by
the intelligent citizens of the country
II the persistent pressure for spous had
been resisted firmly, and no change
tolerated beyond an equitable division
between parties, that might have been
accepted as permissible compromise
under difficult circumstances; Mr..
Curtis believed the reform system
would have been SO strongly entrenched
in public approval that at the end of
the second term of the administration
which established it, no succeeding
party or President would venture to in
teIfere. If President Cleveland should
declare that the general political recon-
struction that had taken place was due
to q change of conviction on his part,
and that he favors the spoils system, he
would be abandoned by so large a body
of citizens as to bring his reelection
into serious peril. The Civil Service
Reform League believes the President,
uprightly dealing with the vast and
complicated range of duties, had been
unable to accomplish all he would have
done. The league must nevertheless
emphatically declare that it does not
regard the administration, though
worthy of respect and confidence for
many reasons, as in any strict sense of
the word, civil service reform admin
istration.
At a business meeting Curtis was
unanimously reelected President, and
accepted the Office in a few brief re-
marks.
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions formally expressed the ideas
contained in the address of George
William Curtis. The report was
adopted
